REPORT TO THE COURT OF MAYOR AND ALDERMEN, FROM THE COMMITTEE IN RELATION TO POLICE. Presented 2Sth November, 1837. COWAN, Mayor. The First Court, held on Tuesday the Twenty- eighth day of November, 1837:, ^^d in the First year of the reign of Victoria, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland Queen, 8^c, THE Committee of the whole Covirt m relation to the Police of this City did this day deliver into this Court a Report in writing- under their hands, respecting the arrangements made hy them on the occasion of Her Majesty honouring- this City with her presence at dinner, in the Guildhall, on Lord Mayor's Day last, which w as read in these words : To the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor and Court of Aldermen. IN obedience to an Order of this Honourable Court of the 23d day of October last, referring it to us to carry into execution the Regulations then agreed to, for the reception of Her Majesty upon her visit to this City on Lord Mayor's Day, the ninth of iVb- vemher, and to take such steps as we might deem expedient for the preservation of the peace of this City upon that occasion, We whose names are hereunto subscribed, your Committee in relation to the Police, DO CERTIFY, that, in addition to the several circumstances and recommendations contained in our Report of the 4th instant, we further report that we directed Mr. Remembrancer to make appli- cation to the Right Honourable Lord John Russell, Her Majesty's Secretary of State for the Home Department, to ascertain what ar- rangements had been made for the attendance of the troops to escort Her Majesty, and to the Right Honourable the Earl of Albemarle, Her Majesty's Master of the Horse, respecting the arrangements con- nected with his lordship's department, for Her Majesty's procession and return from this City ; and Mr. Remembrancer reported that he had seen the Earl of Albemarle thereon, and that his lordship stated that it had been arranged that Her Majesty should come in state, and leave Buckingham Palace at two o'clock, arrive at Temple Bar by three, and at the Guildhall before four o'clock ; that Her Majesty would be attended to the Guildhall by an escort of about one ( 6 ) hundred Horse Guards, as a guard of honour, who would remain till her return ; and that the royal state carriages would return imme- diately, and private carriages come to the Guildhall in the evening for Her Majesty and her attendants. The Remembrancer further reported that he had made a commu- nication to Lord John Russell of the proposed arrangements of the Magistrates respecting the attendance of military, and had seen the Honourable Colonel Cavendish, from whom he ascertained that it was contemplated a considerable troop of horse should precede Her Majesty about half an hour, and line the streets from Temple Bar to the Guildhall, at a distance of about fifteen yards apart ; that the usual Guard at the Bank would be doubled, and that a further num- ber of infantry might be had, if deemed requisite. And we your Committee, having considered the same, were of opinion that the proper time for the attendance of the military at their proposed stations within the City, from Temple Har to the Guild- hall, should not be later than one o'clock, in order that the streets might be properly cleared by that hour for Her Majesty's progress, and referred it to a Deputation, consisting of Sir Claudius Stephen Hunter, Bart., Mr. Alderman Venables, and Sir Peter Laurie, to- gether with Mr. Remembrancer, to see Lord John Russell thereon, and to communicate our opinion to his lordship; which Deputation reported that they had held a conference with his lordship, when it was arranged that about four hundred Horse Guards should be put at the disposal of the Magistrates by twelve o'clock, so as to be in their respective stations by one o'clock at the latest, to be placed at a distance of about eight yards apart, being similar to the arrangement made throughout the line of Her Majesty's Procession westward of Temple Har; and we thereupon referred it to the Superintendent of the City Police to see the commanding officer, and arrange with him accordingly ; and also that a portion of the troops should patrol in the centre of the streets, if requisite. And we have caused to be annexed hereto the Memorandum issued from the Horse-Guards for the at- tendance and arrangements of the military'. We beg further to certify that we directed copies of the Regulations agreed to by this Honourable Court, and of the Tickets issued to the distinguished guests invited, as Avell as of the Pass-tickets and Orders ' See Appendix, No. L -AppendLx, No. II. and No. III. ( 7 ) for carriages, to be transmitted to the Commissioners of the Metro- politan Police, and to Sir Frederick Roe, the Chief Magistrate of the Police Office at Boiu street, for their information, copies of which are hereunto annexed-; and we received from the Commissioners of the Metropolitan Police a copy of the Orders and Regulations issued by them, which are also hereunto annexed^. That we ordered the Regulations for the general arrangements to be advertised, and directed copies of the Order of Procession and of the Regulations for the reception of Her Majesty by the Corporation to be printed, and distributed to the several Members of this Honou- rable Court, the Court of Common Council, and the Officers of this City, and also to be delivered at all the houses in the line of Her Majesty's procession from Temple Bar to Guildhall; copies of which are also hereunto annexed*. That we directed the Superintendent of the City Police to report in writing a detailed particular of his arrangements of the Police, which we have likewise caused to be hereunto annexed^, for the further information of this Honourable Court. That we appointed a Deputation, consisting of Sir Claudius Stephen Hunter, Bart., Sir Peter Laurie, and Mr. Alderman Thomas AVood, to provide horses for the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, Sheriffs, and the deputation of the Court of Common Council, who were to ride to Temple Bar to meet and receive Her Majesty, who reported to us that Sir Peter Laurie, one of the Deputation, had applied to the Right Honourable Major General Sir Hussey Vivian, Master General of the Ordnance, for the use of a sufficient number of horses for the procession, and that directions were sent to Colonel Jones, of the Royal Horse Aitillery, to supply as many as might be required ; and Sir Peter Laurie, having met Colonel Jones at TVool- wich, selected twenty-seven manege horses, which were sent up to London on the morning of the 9th of November, under the command of an officer. Application was made, under our direction, to the Benchers of the Honourable Society of the Middle Temple, for the use of the Middle Temple lane to station the horses in, previously to Her Ma- jesty's arrival, which was readily complied with. s Appendix, No. IV. * Appendix, No. V. and No. VI. * Appendix No. VII. ( 8 ) We received a very handsome offer from Messrs. Child, of the use of their house close to Temple Bar, during the time of our waiting Her Majesty's arrival, of which we availed ourselves. We further ccitifv', that, having referred it to Mr. ReriicMihrancer to ascertain at the Lord Chamberlain's Office whether it « ould be desirable that the Lady Mayoress should attend upon Her Majesty at dinner, as originally proposed, he reported tliat the attendance of the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Sheriffs only would be requisite. We also certify, that, in order to prevent obstructions in the streets of this Citv in the evening, we directed notices to be issued, particu- larly reconiMieiiding all parties attending to see the Illuminations, to confine themselves to the north side of the streets in going westward, and to the south side in going eastward. The various arrangements having been completed, the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, vShcriffs, and Deputation of the Court of Common Council assembled at Messrs. Childs', at Temple Bar, a short time pre\ iously to Her Majesty's arrival, and proceeded from thence to the Middle Tem])le lane to mount their horses; and, having subsequently taken up their stations on each side oi Fleet street, awaited Her Majesty's arrival in due order. Upon the Queen's entrance into the City (the gates of Temple Bar not being closed), the Lord Mayor advanced to Her Majesty's carriage -door, and, according to ancient custom upon such occasions, respectfully tendered to Her Majesty the City Sword of State, Avhich Her Majesty was graciously pleased to return, and the procession moved on to the Guildhall in the follow ing order • — ( 9 ) ?©etacl)ment of life (fifuartijS.

( 12 ) On Her Majesty's arrival at the top of JLudgate hill, the Senior Scholar of Christ's Hospital, accoinpanied by the Treasurer and Head Master of that establishment, advanced to the door of Her Majesty's carriage, upon a platform erected for the purpose, and delivered an Addi'ess, according to ancient custom, a copy of which will be found in the Appendix^. At the conclusion of the Address, which occupied about five mi- nutes, a copy written on vellum was presented to Her Majesty; the whole of the children then sang " God save the Queen,'' and the Procession again set forward for the Guildhall. The Procession having arrived at the Guildhall, the Lord Mayor with the Lady Mayoress, the Aldermen, Recorder, Sheriffs, Cham- berlain, Town Clerk, Common Serjeant, Mr. Serjeant yirulmi, and the Remembrancer, and a Deputation of six Members of the Court of Common Council — his lordship in his entertaining gown, with the collar of SS and the jewel, the Aldermen in their scarlet gowns, those past the Chair wearing their chains, the Sherif^fs in their scarlet gowns and chains, and the Recorder, principal City Officers, and the Depu- tation of the Court of Common Council in their gowns — preceded Her Majesty from the entrance of the Guildhall to Her Majesty's retiring- Chamber, and then proceeded to the Council Chamber, till Her Ma- jesty was pleased to take her seat, when Mr. Recorder addressed Her Majesty with the following compliments of congratulation : " May it please Your Majesty, " We your Majesty's faithful subjects, the Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens " of the City oi Lo/u/o/i, approach Your Royal Person, to express to Your Majesty " the sense we entertain of Your Majesty's most gracious condescension in vouch- " safing to adorn by Your Royal Presence, on the anniversary of our great ci\ic " festival, the Banquet prepared in the Guildhall. " The signs of gratulation and delight, the joyous acclamations of the people, " that greeted Your Majesty's progress to this Hall, find an echo in every breast " within this Your Majesty's most ancient and loyal City. These are not the in- " dications of interested adulation oflercd to greatness in the zenith of its power ; " they are the outjjourings of an ardent and affectionate spirit, that pervades and " animates as one man the mighty masses of assendjled multitudes, eager to testify, " in the fervour of British feeling, their attachment to a Constitutional Sovereign, " in the person of their beloved Queen. * Appendix, No. Mil. ( 13 ) " The most gracious declaration and assurance pronounced by Your Majesty, " and published to the world, upon ascending the Throne of the United Kingdom " of Great Britain and Ireland, are yet fresh in the memory and glowing in the " heart of a grateful and confiding people. " In the exercise of the highest privilege we enjoy — that of personal communi- " cation with the Sovereign, it was reserved for the Citizens of London to receive " from the lips of Royalty the avowal of those principles that proved the happy " means of transferring to Your Majesty's ancestors the hereditary sceptre of " these realms. " Deign therefore, most gracious Lady, with renewed assurances of their devoted " loyalty, to accept from the Citizens of London the humble but sincere offering " of their poor thanks and imperfect acknowledgements for the honour this day " conferred upon them by Your Majesty's auspicious visit in the heart of the " metropolis of this favoured empire. " May Your Majesty long live in the enjoyment of health, and of the choicest " gifts that Providence can bestow, to communicate to your subjects, and to cxpe- " rience on the throne, the blessings that attend the good government of a free, " happy, and religious people." To which Her Majesty was pleased to return the following most gracious Answer : " I THANK you for this loyal and affectionate Address, and I have " much pleasure in receiving it here and upon this occasion. I en- "• tirely concur in the sentiments which it expresses, " It has been the custom of the Kings and Queens my predecessors " to visit, upon their accession, the City oi London; and my regard " for this great commercial community, the metropolis of my empire, " renders it to me a great satisfaction to follow their example." The Lord Mayor then introduced the Aldermen and Sheriffs with their ladies, and the piincipal City Officers, to Her Majesty, in like manner as upon former occasions, who all kissed hands. Her Majesty was then graciously pleased to order letters patent to be made out, conferring the dignity of a baronet upon the Lord Mayor, and to knight the two Sheriffs. ( 14 ) During the presentation of theAddress to Her Majesty, the Foreign Ministers and other noble and distinguished g-uests, as they arrived, were conducted to the Council Chamber, and took their stations in front of Her Majesty's chair of state, and shortly afterwards pro- ceeded to the Hall, and took the seats allotted to them at the banquet tables. The dinner being announced, the Lord Mayor with the six senior Aldermen present, viz. Sir Claudius Stephen Hunter, Bart., Mr. Alderman Scholey, Mr. Alderman Birch, Mr. Alderman Wood, Mr. Alderman Brown, and Mr. Alderman Venables, the Recorder, and Sheriffs, preceded Her Majesty from the Council Chamber to the royal table in the Guildhall (his lordship bearing the City state sword), and attended upon Her Majesty at dinner, until they were directed to take their seats. The same form was observed upon Her Majesty's retiring from the dinner; and, upon Her Majesty leaving the Hall, she was preceded from the Council Chamber to the entrance of the Guildhall by the deputation of the members of the Court of Common Council, the prin- cipal City Officers, the Sheriffs, Recorder, Aldermen, and the Lord Mayor, where they most respectfully took leave. The Sword Bearer and Common Cryer were in attendance in the Guildhall. The arrangements in the Council Chamber connected with the pre- sentation of the Address, and the ceremonial throughout, were under the direction of, and most ably conducted by, Edward Tyrrell, Esq. the Remembrancer. Having thus reported in detail the various proceedings connected with Her Majesty's visit to this City, so far as we your Committee were concerned, we now beg to state that we availed ourselves of the earliest opportunity of conveying our thanks to the Right Honou- rable Lord Hill, the General Commanding in Chief, for the atten- dance of the troops on the ninth instant, and of expressing in the highest terms our approbation of the conduct of the officers and men employed upon that occasion (and have received a gratifying letter ( 15 ) from his lordship in reply,which we have caused to be hereunto annexed'') : — To the Honourable the Artillery Company, for their attendance in the Guildhall yard as Her Majesty's Guard of Honour : — To the Rio-ht Honourable Sir Richard Hussey Vivian, Bart, for the loan of the artillery horses used in the procession, and to Lieu- tenant-Colonel Jones for the efficient services of the detachment of the Royal Artillery who attended the same: — To the Honourable the Sociejty of the Middle Temple, for allowing the horses to be stationed in the Middle Temple lane previously to Her Majesty's arrival, — And to Messrs. Child, for the great accommodation, and the polite personal attention, rendered by them to the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Deputation of the Corporation who attended to meet Her Majesty at Temple 13 a r: — To the Honourable the East India Company, and the Directors of the West of England Fire Office, for the readiness manifested by them in allowing the men in their service to be employed as extra consta- bles in aid of the police, — And to the Deputies and Common Council of the respective Wards, for allowing their watchmen also to be employed as extra constables, under the direction of the Magistrates of this City. We are also gratified in being able to record our approbation of the correct conduct of the Police of this City, and of the able manner in which our directions were carried into execution by Mr. TVhilhair the Superintendent ; and we recommend to this Honourable Court to present him the sum of Fifty Pounds for the zeal and ability manifested by him in the arrangements of the police force upon the occasion of Her Majesty's visit to this City. We have likewise to record our acknowledgements to Mr. Firth, Principal Clerk to the Town Clerk, for the zeal, perseverance, and industry he has evinced in conducting the business of this Committee during the important period of the Queen's visit to the Corporation ; and we recommend this Honourable Court to present him the sum of Fifty Pounds, in testimony of the sense we entertain of his services upon that occasion. ' Appendix, No. IX. ( 16 ) We beg further to certify that the expenditure incurred under our direction, and the ordei's of this Honourable Court, is as follows : — £ s. d.

Address, delivered by Frederick Giffard Nash, the Senior Scholar of Christ's Hospital, to Her Majesty. Most August and Gracious Sovereign, WE, the children of the royal, ancient, and religious foundation of Chrises Hospital, gratefully avail ourselves of the opportunity afforded by Your Majesty's e^racious nsit to the metropolis of vour dominions to implore Your Majesty's con- descending notice, and to offer our humble but sincere congratulations on Your Majesty's happy accession to the throne of your ancestors. Educated and supported within the walls of an institution founded by King Edward the Sixth, himself a youthful sovereign, to be at once a means of impart- ing sound learning and useful knowledge to the young, and also of disseminating from generation to generation the true light of the Protestant faith, and afterwards increased by King Charles the Second, who added to the establishment its mathematical and naval branch, whilst private liberality, stimulated by those illus- trious examples, has from time to time munificently enlarged its resources, we feel ourselves bound by a deep sense of the inestimable benefits which we are recei\ing to look at all times to the Throne of these realms with peculiar veneration and affection. In Yoiu- Majesty's sacred person we recognize also the representative of a line of monarchs who have successively honoured our institution with their royal notice and favour ; amongst whom, in particular, we retain a deep impression of the distinguished kindness shown by Your Majesty's immediate predecessor to the delegated body of our schoolfellows on their annual presentation at his court ; and we trust that a grateful remembrance of that kindness, as well as of the many be- nefits which our country received from his paternal sway, will ever dwell upon our minds. Ha\-ing been already honoured with the benignant notice of Your Majesty in the extension of our recent vacation, for which we tender to Your Majesty our humble acknowledgments, we venture to hail this mark of your gracious conside- ration as holding out to us a hope that the Royal Foundation of Christ's Hospital will continue to receive from Your Majesty the same protection and favour which it has ever received from the Throne ; and we humbly pray that it may please the Almighty Disposer of events to pour down upon Your Majesty, in the abundance of his mercy, blessings spiritual and temporal, and that Your Majesty may reign long and prosperously, surrounded and supported by the affections of a free and happy people.

Deputy, Mr. Benjamin Stubbing, Mr. Thomas Mitchell, Mr. John Hoard, Mr. James Curtis, Gilpin Gorst, Esq. Deputy, Mr. Thomas Marsden, and Michael Gibbs, Esq. Deputy, to whom on the 27th day of July last it was referred, in the event of Her Majesty being graciously pleased to accept the invitation of this Court to vouchsafe to honour them with Her Royal Presence at dinner in the Guildhall of this City, upon such day and time as Her Majesty might be graciously pleased to appoint, forthwith to proceed in preparing the Guildhall, and providing a suitable enter- tainment to Her Majesty, in such manner as we shoxdd see fit, and to give every necessary direction in respect thereof, do certify, that, in accordance with the statement contained in our Report presented to this Honourable Court on the 30th day oi November last, we now proceed to report in detail the various measures we felt it our duty to adopt, in order to render the entertainment suitable to the dignity of the Corporation of London, and, as far as possible, commensurate to the honour conferred upon them by the distinguished presence of Her Majesty and the Royal Family — together with a statement of the several particulars of expenditure. The invitation of the Corporation having been respectfully com- municated to Her Majesty by the Lord Mayor, Recordei', and Sheriffs, attended by the Remembrancer, pursuant to the resolution of this Honourable Court of the 27th day of July last, Her Majesty was graciously pleased to accept the invitation, and appointed Thursday, the 9th day of November, to honour the Corporation of London with Her Royal Presence at dinner, and also to assent to the Queen- Dowager, and the other members of the Royal Family, being invited to accompany Her Majesty; and Mr. Remembrancer having reported the same to us, we immediately proceeded to consider the best course to be adopted to give eft'ect to the desire of this Honourable Court, that the entertainment should be conducted in a manner suitable to ( 8 ) the occasion; and, having referred to the proceedings in the years 1830 and 1831, upon the iiivitation given by this Honourable Court to His late Majesty King William the Fourth and His Illustrious Consort, we resolved upon this occasion to carry into effect, as far as practicable, the arrangements then agreed to, as, this Honourable Court having resolved that galleries should not be erected in the Guildhall, Ave found that it would not be possible to accommodate the members of the Corporation and their ladies therein, if any material deviation was made from the arrangements then contemplated. The early period at which the Corporation were honoured with Her Majesty's acceptance of their invitation afforded us sufficient time to put the Guildhall, and the various apartments attached thereto, in a complete state of repair for the reception of Her Ma- jesty, and we directed the Clerk of this City's Works to take proper steps for cleansing and beautifying the walls, ceilings, and decora- tions, and making good all the defective ornaments, which expense must have been incurred at no distant period, from the insecure and dilapidated state they were found to be in. It was also requisite to provide an entire new set of gas tubing throughout the Hall, that formerly in use being, upon a careful exa- mination, found to be in an unsound and decayed state. Mr. Remembrancer having reported to us that their Royal High- nesses the Duke of Sussex, the Duke, the Duchess, Prince George, and Princess Augusta of Cambridge, the Duchess of Gloucester, the Princess Sophia Matilda of Gloucester, and the Duchess of Kent, had accepted the invitation to dine at Guildhall on Lord Mayor's Day, — before we proceeded to issue any invitations, we directed Mr. Remembrancer to ascertain the names of the official persons who would be in attendance upon Her Majesty and the Royal Family, that pi'oper accommodation might be provided for them in the first instance ; and we directed the Town Clerk to write to such of the Companies of this City as had pageants, informing them that Her Majesty had been pleased to appoint Lord Mayor's Day, the 9th of November, for honouring this City with Her Presence at dinner in the Guildhall, upon which occasion we felt assured they would do everything on their part to show their respect to Her IMajesty: we also requested the twelve principal Companies to favour the Corporation with the loan of their plate. ( 9 ) Sir George Smart, conductor of Her Majesty's English concerts, having kindly offered his gratuitous services to arrange and conduct the music in the Hall, we availed ourselves of his offer, and requested him to procure the attendance of vocal and instrumental performers of the highest talent, and to superintend and conduct the music ; and we directed one of the galleries in the Guildhall to be enlarged, so as to form a commodious orchestra for their accommodation. A new and appropriate design for the Ticket of Admission was adopted, richly ornamented and embossed, and a die expressly pre- pared for the same, with the following engraving in the centre. ADMIT — re ATT DjTTT^I ^k.^-^— ^' The tickets were severally numbered, and sealed with the seal of your Committee, and signed by the Town Clerk ; and we have much satisfaction in stating that, in consequence of the great anxiety ex- pressed by many of the guests to retain their tickets as a memoiial of the day, care was taken to preserve them uninjured, and that, after the entertainment, the ticket of each guest was returned. c ( 10 ) For the convenience of Her Majesty and the Royal Family, in alighting- from their carriages at the entrance of the Hall, we ordered an extended porch-way to be erected in the Guildhall yard. We also directed the front of the Guildhall, and both sides of Temple Bar, to be illuminated upon a magnificent scale, with appro- priate devices, to pay every possible respect to Her Majesty. The Mansion-House was illuminated by order of the Right Ho- noin'abje the Lord Mayor ; the public buildings throughout the City, as well as the houses of the inhabitants in the whole line of Her Majesty's progress, were also splendidly illuminated. A new and improved mode of lighting the Guildhall was adopted ; and, in addition to the briUiant star and lustres, which were most kindly lent by Messrs. Copeland and Garretl for the occasion, we provided two large chandeliers, twelve feet each in diameter, of coloured glass, having the royal arms and initials, with national emblems painted thereon, enriched with rays of cut-glass, which were suspended from the ceiling of the Guildhall, and produced a very beautiful effect. A magnificent Throne was erected in the Guildhall, and a suitable chair of state provided for Her Majesty; the Royal Standard and British Union Flag were suspended above the Throne; other appro- priate flags and banners were also provided for the Guildhall, and we were favoured with the loan of armour, military trophies, §-c., from the Honourable the Board of Ordnance, which were tastefully displayed in the Hall; and the western window was fitted up in an elegant manner, under the direction and personal superintendance of Mr. Stucey of the Ordnance department. Mr. Remembrancer, having obtained lists of the official persons who would form Her Majesty's suite, and also the suites of the Royal Family, reported the same as follows : — ( 11 ) THE QUEEN'S SUITE.

( 21 ) Having determined, in order to prevent any confusion or inter- ruption in the presence of Her Majesty, that no more tickets should be issued for the admission of guests than could be conveniently accommodated in the Guildhall, we directed, instead of the usual forms and benches, a chair to be provided for every person at the respective tables, which, we have the satisfaction of stating, pro- duced the desired effect. It was with great concern that your Committee subsequently re- ceived a letter from Lady Alicia Gordo>% conveying Her Royal Highness the Princess Sophia Matilda of Gloucester's regret that she was prevented availing herself of the invitation to dinner in the Guildhall, according to her anxious intention, which was a great disappointment to the Princess, who would have been much gratified by being present upon so interesting an occasion. After considering the best appropriation which could be made of the vai'ious rooms attached to the Guildhall for the due reception and accommodation of Her Majesty, the members of the Royal Family, the distinguished guests, the Lady Mayoress, and the ladies of the Aldermen and of the members of this Honourable Court, we made the following arrangement : The Common Council room for the State Drawing-room : The New Council-Chamber and the Gallery leading from thence to the Common Council room, for Her Majesty's withdrawing- room; the Sewers Office for the attendants upon Her Alajesty: The Old Council-Chamber, for tlieir Royal Highnesses the Dukes of Sussex and Cambridge, and the Prince George of Cambridge : The Waiting-room, for a withdrawing-room for the female branches of the Royal Family : The Chamberlain's Parlour, for a withdrawing-room for the Lady Mayoress, ladies of distinction, and ladies of the Aldermen: And the room in which the Court of King's Bench was formerly held, for a withdrawing-room for ladies generally. C 22 ) We provided accommodation for the officers of the Guards, and of the Gentlemen at Arms and Yeomen of the Guard, as also for the Corps of Gentlemen at Arms, and the officers of the Lord Mayor's Household, at the Guildhall Coffise-house : For the servants of the Royal Family, and the suites of the Lord Chancellor and Judges, at the Swan with Two Necks in Lad lane : And for the Yeomen of the Guard, at the TF^hite Jiear in Basing- hall street. We also directed the Town Clerk to apply to the proprietors of the various inns in the vicinity of the Guildhall, to ascertain the extent of accommodation which could be aftbrded for the carriages and horses of Her Majesty and the Royal Family, in the event of their waiting in the City, to convey them back in the evening ; but Her Majesty having determined not to return in state, we did not avail ourselves of the oifers we received. With regard to the Entertainment, we felt it to be our duty to spare no pains to render it worthy of the occasion and acceptable to Her Majesty, and took every means in our power to attain this desirable object, making such arrangements for the same as, we have reason to believe, afforded general satisfaction. We also prepared Bills of Fare for the table, copies of which will be found in the Appendix'. The following quantities of Wine were provided, of the finest quality we could procure : Port 30 dozen, r pale, 8 dozen, Sherry - - < \ o i •^ t brown, 8 dozen, Madeira . - - - 10 dozen. Claret --..-- 20 dozen, Burgundy - - - - 10 dozen, Hock ----- 15 dozen, Champagne - - ■• 35 dozen. In addition to which aac were presented by Mr. JFilliam Gorst with a selection of choice and rare wines and liqueurs, expressly for the royal table, consisting of East-India Malmsey Madeira, Haut Sauterne, Froutignac, Hermitage, Blanc-Tinto Madeira, Malvasia, Aj)pendix No. I. ( 23 ) Sillery Champagne, Tokay, and Paxaretta; and by Mr. William Laivson with some Sherry one hundred and ten years old. In our arrangements for the Entertainment, we provided an abundant supply of plate and ornaments, which, aided by the City's plate, and the loan of the ornamental and ancient plate of several of the Companies, who kindly granted the use of the same, enabled us to decorate the royal table, and the raised side-boards on each side of the elevated platform at the east end of the Hall, on a scale of magnificence and grandeur rarely, if ever, surpassed ; and we feel it due to Mr. Deputy Brook to express our acknowledgements for the pains taken and the taste displayed by him in the arrange- ment of the plate and ornaments. In order that the whole Entertainment might be conducted with the greatest order, and all the guests furnished with the requisite information for their guidance, we prepared three distinct series of Regulations : The first, for the Royal Family and the Cabinet Ministers ; The second, for the Nobility and other distinguished guests ; The third, for Members of the Corporation. Copies of these Regulations, together with copies of all the Cards, Pass-tickets, and Regulations for Carriages, w^hich were issued, will be found in the Appendix^. Mr. Remembrancer having submitted to us the plans of the Tables in the Hall, in pursuance of our directions, with the situations of the several seats marked thereon, those at the upper tables being appro- priated to the Foreign Ambassadors and Ministers, the Great Officers of State, the Suites of the Queen and Royal Family, the Judges and the Noblemen, and other distinguished guests invited, with the Aldermen and Sheriffs ; the remaining seats at those tables, and at the tables in the lower end of the Hall, were numbered, preparatory to their being drawn for the members of this Honourable Court, by Wards. And we directed Mr. Remembrancer to arrange the seats of the distinguished guests according to their respective rank and station, and also to prepare and print plans, showing the seats of the ■■^ Appendix Nos. II., III., IV., and V. ( 24 ) distinguished guests who accepted the invitation, and of the several members of the Corporation and their ladies, copies of which are liereunto annexed ^ In the course of our proceedings we received, by direction of the Police Committee of Aldermen, a copy of the Order of Procession and Regulations for the reception of Her Majesty at Temple Bar and in the Guildhall, which had been issued by the Court of Alder- men, and some of those regulations appearing to interfere with the arrangements made by us, we requested a conference with the Police Committee of Aldermen thereon, and also with reference to the com- pliments of congratulation to be made to Her Majesty; in conse- quence whereof a conference was held, and a deputation from your Committee subsequently attended a special meeting of the Court of Aldermen, when the compliments of congratulation, as prepared by by Mr. Recorder, were read in their presence ; and it was at the same time agreed that a deputation of Six Commoners, members of this Honourable Court, should attend with the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, Recorder, Sheriffs, and principal City Officers, to receive Her Majesty at the entrance of the Guildhall, and in the Common Council Cham- ber, upon the presentation of the compliments of congratulation; and the Regulations of the Court of Aldermen were amended and agreed to accordingly, a copy of which we have caused to be here- unto annexed ^ A portion of Mr. Comptroller's house was used for the convenience of the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, SheriflTs, and Deputation of this Honourable Court, who were appointed to meet Her Majesty at Temple Bar and precede her to the Guildhall on horseback, to dress themselves after that ceremonial. It having been directed that every lady who intended to be pi'e- sented to Her Majesty must bring Avith her a card, with her name plainly written thereon, but that no lady other than the wife of a member of the Corporation could be presented, an intimation to that effect was issued to the several members of this Honourable Court, but Mr. Remembrancer having subsequently reported that he had had an interview with Viscount Melbourne, the First Lord of the Treasury, who had connnunicated to him Her Majesty's desire that the presentation of the ladies of the Common Council to Her Majesty, •'■ Appendix No. VI. and No. VII. ■* Appendix No. VIII. and No. IX. ( 25 ) in the Common Council Chamber, should be dispensed with, we directed ]\Ir. Remembrancer to wait upon his lordship and commu- nicate the great disappointment that would be occasioned thereby, and to express our hope that Her Majesty would be graciously pleased to allow such pi'esentation ; and Mr. Remembrancer having seen Lord Melbourne, reported that his lordship stated that Her Majesty w^as desirous of returning to the Palace at St. James's Park after retiring from the table in the Hall, and that the fatigue of so many ladies being presented was greater than it had been thought advisable Her Majesty should undergo. We also received from Mr. Remembrancer a communication from Lord John Russell, Her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Home Depai'tment, conveying Her Majesty's desire that her Mistress of the Robes (the Duchess of Sutherland) and her Lady in Waiting (the Countess of Mulgrave) should have seats at the royal table, to be near Her Majesty's person ; and we directed arrangements to be made accordingly. The Guildhall and the adjoining apartments were fitted up and decorated, under oui- directions, in the following manner : In the Guildhall, the Throne was placed upon a raised platform, at the east end of the Hall : it was surmounted by an entablature, with the letters V. R. supporting the Royal Crown and Cushion, In the front was an external valance of crimson velvet, richly laced and trimmed with tassels; the back fluting was composedof white satin, relieved with the Royal Arms, in gold ; the curtains were of crimson velvet, trimmed with lace, and lined with crimson silk. The canopy was composed of crimson velvet, with radiated centre of white satin enamelled with gold, forming a gold ray, from which the centre of satin diverged ; and a valance of crimson velvet, laced with gold, depended from the canopy, which was intersected with cornucopise introducing the rose, thistle, and shamrock, in white velvet. Beneath this splendid canopy was placed the state chair, richly carved and gilt, and ornamented with the Royal Arms and Crown, including the rose, thistle, and shamrock, in crimson velvet. The footstool was of crimson velvet, decorated in a manner cor- responding w ith the rich and beautiful colours and drapery of the throne itself The platform on which the throne stood was covered E ( 26 ) with crimson and gold-coloured carpeting of the richest kind ; and the steps and passage by which the throne was approached were covered with materials of the same description. In front of the Throne was placed the Royal Table, extending the whole width of the platform : it was thirty-four feet long and eight wide, covei-ed with a cloth of the most exquisite damask, trimmed with gold-coloured silk lace and fringe. The sides and front of the platform were decked with a profusion of the rarest plants and shrubs, and in front of the table was placed a magnificent wine-cooler. The portion of the Hall appropriated to the Throne and Royal Table was elevated one foot nine inches above the level of the Hall, and a large mirror, twelve feet long and ten feet wide, was placed at each side of the Throne, reflecting the brilliant and crowded scene at the western termination. On each of the return sides stood two mirrors ten feet long and ten feet wide, and before the mirrors was arranged, in the most effective manner, the plate and ornaments. The mirrors, with the shelves of plate, were intersected with crimson Vatican drapery, which continued in all the various compartments throughout the Hall. •fa" From the bottom of the platform on which the Throne and Royal Table stood, four long tables extended nearly half way down the Hall. The royal avenue, leading to the Throne, was in the middle, having two of the tables on each side. Over the porch entrance was the Orchestra, erected for fifty vocal and instrumental performers, and two figures in complete armour, with tilting lances, standing underneath. The gallery over the steps leading to the Covnicil-Chamber was decorated with armour and trophies very tastefully arranged, and on each side of the steps stood a figure in complete armour. The grand eastern window Avas sheeted over with iron, in order to effect the safe introduction of gas. The illumination above the Throne was of a size that extended over the whole of the window; it consisted of the royal initials in jets of gas, based upon an arabesque scroll of great elegance, surmounted with the woid WELCOME. The western window was boarded over; in the midst was a brilliant star, and over it the words god save the queen, forming an arch s I I f aKiSiara@gMaKiT ®f itmi ssvs^sul ta^lss m tms giyoiLEKiaiua^ |»qOOOOOOOOOOOOOo| |«QQOOgqqQOQqtf| ooe««ooaeoooooo~ooeoooooooogooooooo o'e'o OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOQQOOqqQOOOgQOQQ oooooQoo9ooogoooooo«ooog oo'oooooooaooe] OOOOOQftOOOOOPOOOOOQBOQOOQOOOOOOPOOOOQl D I ooeooooooooQoaeooeooeoooooaoooooooooei 9 ! i u u u t, w t* w "T rooooeooooooo') ( e ^ Q g \q iiQQQOOOQ q / . \ oooeoQooooic oooooooaoo ooQooQooooo«ooooeeoQ g oo o oooooo o~g g o o o w' I OPOOOOOOOOOOgOOOgggOOQQgpOOPgQQQQQQQgl ggggOegggggggggggoggggggg gggggggggg OOOOgQogggggogggoggOgggggggQQgggOgg gggggugooooogggooeoggggooeg oeogg o oo QOOOggooggogggggoggoggogggoogggoggg ovgggeoQgggggoooggggoggggggeoggggggee ggoggogggggggegoogogggggggooooooooooo c C 27 ) of glass drops of great splendour ; each letter was two feet six inches in length, and the whole of the drops weighed three quarters of a ton. Under the star, upon the spacious window-stool, was placed a gTOupe consisting of several suits of armour, and a great variety of spears, flags, banners, and other military trophies, very tastefully ar- ranged. The sides of the Hall were illuminated with gas jets in the several compartments of the building, with a double row of gas lights along the whole of the cornice, from which hung numerous flags and banners, with the Royal and City Arms and other devices. Six tables were ranged along the western end of the Hall extending to the doorway, for the Common Council and their ladies ; very large mirrors were fixed at the end of this part of the Hall. The Common Council Chamber was hung throughout with crimson fluted cloth, finished with gold mouldings and festoons of red and white flowers ; at the lower end were three large plates of glass, with elegant pier-tables, vases, and other ornaments. The whole of the seats were removed, and the lower tier of pictures were suitably arranged. In the centre was a brilliant or-moulu and steel-mounted gas lustre, large or-mouIu girandoles at the western end, on each side of the statue of George the Third, and four chandeliers at the corners of the chamber. The whole of the platform and the centre of the room was covered with a rich Brussels carpet, with white me- dallions and chintz colouring. Upon the platform, which had been materially enlarged, stood a chair, splendidly gilt, and covered with crimson velvet, with a corresponding foot-stool for Her Majesty's use: in this apartment there was no other chair or seat of any kind. During our arrangements for fitting up the Council-Chamber, we found it requisite to procure a picture of corresponding dimensions with the portrait of the late ^o-fter/ IVaithman, Esq. and Alderman, when the Town Clerk obligingly lent us the portrait of his father, the late Town Clerk, which was put up there under our directions, and which he is desirous of presenting to the Corporation, to be bv them retained as this City's property, and to remain in that room. The gallery adjoining the Common Council Chamber, and leading to the Court of Aldermen's room, was fluted with rose-colour and white, ornamented with festoons of drapery rope, and carpeted to correspond with the Common Council Chamber ; in the centre was ( 28 ) a solid silver cliandelier, weighing One thousand three hundred and fifty ounces and fourteen pennyweights, lent hy the Worshipful Company of Fishmongers. The New Council-Chamber, or Court of Aldermen's room, was beautifully decorated with fluting of crimson and amber colour, orna- mented with festoons of rope ; the floor was covered with a crimson and gold-coloured carpet, and the curtains were of striped crimson silk ; the cornices were richly gilt, and the apartment was lighted up with splendid cut-glass chandeliers : in the recess was a magniflcent toilet table covered with white satin, embroidered with the initials V, R., a crown, and wreath in gold, and roped with gold-coloured rope and tassels, and completely furnished with every requisite. In this private apartment of Her Majesty were three of the splendid chairs which decorated the state apartments of King George the Fourth, and other chairs richly gilt ; it was also furnished with con- sole tables with marble tops, and a marqueterie centre table, and cabriole chairs and sofas, with magnificently embroidered seats, each of the chairs varying from the others. There was also an Ottoman seat fitted up under the stained glass windows at the west end of the room, and two large looking glasses, one covering the whole of the door at the east end of the room, and the other opposite the entrance from the Common Council Chamber. The Common Council Chamber Lobby was richly carpeted, the same as the Chamber, and hung with crimson Vatican drapery. It was lighted in the centre by a i*ich lustre, and by a pair of splendid candelabra on a platform at each side of the entrance, and contained a beautiful display of greenhouse plants and flowering shrubs. The passage leading to this lobby was hung with crimson drapery. The Old Council-Chamber, to the left of the Queen's retiring- room, was fitted up for the male branches of the Royal Family, and dressed with crimson cloth. The floor was splendidly carpeted ; and this apartment also contained a large mirror and toilet. The Waiting-room, for the female branches of the Royal Family, also was furnished Avith crimson and gold-coloured carpeting, in like manner as the Queen's apartment ; in it were looking-glasses of large dimensions, and a toilet splendidly fitted up, and lighted by rich or-moulu chandeliers. ( 29 ) The Cliamberlain's Office and the Freedom Office Avere furnished with toilets, glasses, 8f-c. The old Court of King's Bench was handsomely draped, carpeted, and decorated with gilt ornaments. The Judges' Robing-room, at the back, was appropriated for ladies' toilets, and was covered with crimson figured drapery, carpeting, and hung with Vatican drapery. At one o'clock the doors of the Guildhall were opened, and from that hour until half-past two the guests continued to arrive in quick succession. Before three the whole of the company, with the ex- ception of the Royal Family and a few of the Nobility, had entered the Hall. At two o'clock the Honourable the Artillery Company, of which His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex is Captain-General and Colonel, which composed Her Majesty's Guard of Honour, under the com- mand of Lieutenant-Colonel Cox, marched into the Guildhall yard, preceded by their band, and took up their position in line on the right of the entrance, where they remained till Her Majesty's depar- ture; and we provided refreshments and accommodation for them in one of the new courts of law. At two o'clock, also, the Gentlemen at Arms, commanded by Lord Foley, were stationed in different parts of the Hall, as a body-guard to the Queen ; and in the inner porch the Yeomen of the Guard were ranged. 'fe' At half-past three the procession, headed by the Superintendent and a party of the City mounted Police, began to file into the Guild- hall yard, in order of the Programme issued by the Alaster of the Horse, a copy of which is hereunto annexed''. On the ai'rival of the royal carriage, the Artillery Company presented arms, the officers saluting, and the band playing the national anthem. Her Majesty and the royal cortege arrived at the Guildhall shortly before four o'clock. Her Majesty was received by the Lord Mayor, Lady Mayoress, the AJdermen, the Recorder, Sheriffs, a Deputation of the Commoners consisting of six members of your Committee, and City Officers, in the porch at the entrance of the Guildhall. As soon as the royal party had alighted, the troops forming the escort proceeded to Finshury Circus, where they awaited Her Majesty's ^ Appendix No. X. ( 30 ) return to the Palace, being accommodated at Mr. Dyers ridiug- scliool. After setting down Her Majesty and suite, the royal car- riages filed off, and returned to the Royal Mews at Pimlico. Her Majesty, preceded by the members of the Royal Family, the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, Sheriffs, Deputation of Commonei"s, and the City Officers, advanced through the centre of the Hall and up the steps leading to the Common Council Chamber; the members of the Court of Common Council, in their gowns, with their ladies, being- arranged on each side of the avenue, agreeably to the regulations which had been issued. At the door of the Queen's retiring-room, the Lord Chamberlain, who had attended Her iNIajesty, left her with the Duchess of KExNT, the Duchess of Gloucester, and the Duchess of Ca:mbridge. Her Majesty remained in her retiring-room about twenty minutes; and in the mean time the Royal Dukes, the Foreign Ambassadors and Ministers, the Ministers of State, the Judges, and the principal Nobility, were introduced to the drawing-room. When Her Ma- jesty entered the drawing-room, she took her seat, and the Recorder, accompanied by the Lord Mayor, the Aldermen, Sheriffs, Officers, and the Deputation of Commoners, advanced, and the Recorder read the following Address in the most impressive manner : " May it please Your Majesty, " We your Majesty's faithful subjects, the Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens " of the City oi London, approach Your Royal Person, to express to Your Majesty " the sense we entertain of Your Majesty's most gracious condescension in voueh- " safing to adorn by Your Royal Presence, on the anniversary of our great civic " festival, the Banquet prepared in the Guildhall. " The signs of gratulation and delight, the joyous acclamations of the people, " that greeted Your Majesty's progress to this Hall, find an echo in every breast " within this Your Majesty's most ancient and loyal City. These are not the in- " dications of interested adulation oft'crcd to greatness in the zenith of its power ; " they are the outpourings of an ardent and affectionate spirit, that pervades and " animates as one man the mighty masses of assembled multitudes, ea^cr to testify, " in the fervour of British feeling, their attachment to a Constitutional Sovereign, " in the person of their beloved Queen. " The most gracious declaration and assurance pronounced by Your Majesty, " and published to the world, upon ascending the Throne of the United Kingdom ( 31 ) " of Great BiitaiJi and Ireland, are yet fresh in the memory and glowing in the " heart of a grateful and confiding people. " In the exercise of the highest privilege wc enjoy — that of personal communi- " cation with the Sovereign, it was reserved for the Citizens of London to receive " from the lips of Royalty the avowal of those principles that proved the happy " means of transferring to Your Majesty's ancestors the hereditary sceptre of " these realms. " Deign therefore, most gracious Lady, with renewed assurances of their devoted " loyalty, to accept from the Citizens of London the humble but sincere offering " of their poor thanks and imperfect acknowledgements for the honour this day " conferred upon them by Your Majesty's auspicious visit in the heart of the " metropolis of this favoured empire. " May Your Majesty long live in the enjoyment of health, and of the choicest " gifts that Providence can bestow, to communicate to your subjects, and to expe- " rience on the throne, the blessings that attend the good government of a free, " happy, and religious people." Her Majesty immediately replied in these gracious terms : " I THANK you for this loyal and affectionate Address, and I " have much pleasure in receiving it here and upon this occasion. " I entirely concur in the sentiments which it expresses. " It has been the custom of the Kings and Queens my prede- " cessors to visit, upon their accession, the City of London ; and my " regard for this great commercial community, the metropolis of " my empire, renders it to me a great satisfaction to follow their " example." Her Majesty was then graciously pleased to order letters patent to be made out, granting the dignity of a baronet to the Right Honou- rable John Cowan, Lord Mayor, and to confer the honour of knight- hood on the two Sheriffs, George Carroll and Moses Montefiore. The Lord Mayor then introduced the Aldermen, Sheriffs, Officers, and the Aldermen's and Sheriffs' ladies, who kissed hands. The De- putation of Commoners, unwilling to increase the fatigue of Her Majesty, waived the privilege of being presented, according to the arrangements previously made for that purpose. After which Her Majesty returned to the retiring-chamber, Avith the Duchesses ( 32 ; of Kent, Cambridge, and Gloucester. This ceremony in the Common Council Chamber occupied about half an hour, which, Avith the other ceremonies in the Hall, were more immediately under the direction of Mr. Remembrancer, and were conducted by him much to our satisfaction. The Nobility, the Foi-eign Ambassadors, the Judges, and other guests who had the privilege of entre into the drawing- room, then proceeded to the Hall, and took the seats assigned them at the tables. At twenty minutes after five the Queen descended to the Hall, preceded by the Lord Mayor, the six senior Aldermen, and Sheriffs, and the Royal Family, and took her seat on the throne. The Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Sheriffs attended for a short time near the Queen, but were almost immediately commanded by Her Majesty to take their respective seats. When this was done Her Majesty I'ose, and Grace was said by the Lord Mayor's chaplain. At the Queen's table were seated, on Her Majesty's right, in the following order, the Duke of Sussex, the Duchess of Gloucester, the Duchess of Cambridge, Prince George of Cambridge, and the Duchess of Sutherland; on Her Majesty's left sat the Duke of Cambridge, the Duchess of Kent, the Princess Augusta of Cam- bridge, and the Countess of Mulgrave. Three of the Gentlemen at Arms were stationed at each end of the royal table, and con- tinued there until Her Majesty's departure. During dinner, several pieces of music were performed by the or- chestra. As soon as the cloth had been removed. Her Majesty rose, and Non nobis Domine was sung by the principal vocal performers^. After which, the Common Crier approached the royal table, and said, " I am desii'ed by the Right Honomable the Lord Mayor to give the Health of Her most gracious Majesty Queen Victoria," and afterwards proceeded to the centre of the Hall and repeated the toast. The Health was received with rapturous applause, and Her Majesty rose to acknowledge the compliment. " God save the Queen" was then suno- in full chorus. 'to After a short pause the Common Crier again approached the Queen's table, and proceeded to the centre of the Hall as before, saying at both places,/' Her Majesty the Queen gives the Health '' See Appendix No. XI. ( 33 ) of the Lord Mayor, and Prosperity to the City of London." The Health was followed by Dr. Callcotfs glee " Hail, happy Albion ! Queen of isles ! Peaceful freedom o'er thee smiles : Thy liberal heart, thy judging eye. The flower unheeded can descry, And bid it round Heaven's altars shed The fragrance of its blushing head. " Through the wild waves as they roar. With watchful eye and dauntless mien. Thy steady course of honour keep ; Nor fear the rocks, nor seek the shore. The Star of Brunswick shines serene. And gilds the horrors of the deep." The Common Crier then again advanced as before, and said, "The Right Honourable the Lord Mayor desires me to give the Health of The Royal Family." The Health was received with great applause : all the members of the Royal Family present rose to acknowledge the toast ; Her Majesty also rose and bowed to her illustrious relatives. The orchestra then performed a chorus, the words written for this occasion, and adapted to music in La Clemenza di Tito, by Mozart " All hail, our Queen Victoria ! Welcome and blessing meet her, Her joyous people greet her With loyal heart and song. " All hail, our Queen Victoria ! Earth, all thy bounties bear her ! And Heaven in mercy spare here, To rule old England long ! " After the lapse of a short time, the following glee and chorus, by Shield, was also performed : " O happy fair ! Your eyes are lodestars, and your tongue's sweet air More tunable than lark to shepherd's ear, When wheat is green, when hawthorn buds appear." About eight o'clock the Queen rose to retire to the withdrawing- room. Her Majesty was preceded by the Lord Mayor with the sword of state, the Aldermen, Recorder, and Sheriffs, and led by the Lord ( 34 ) Chamberlain, and followed by all the Ladies of the Court. After the lapse of about ten minutes, the rest of the Royal Family, together with the greater number of the more distinguished visitors, retired from the Hall. Her Majesty having rested awhile in her withdraw- ine;-room, prepared at half-past eight o'clock to take her departure. This was conducted in exactly the same manner as the royal ap- proach; and Her Majesty expressed her gratification at the Enter- tainment, and at the measures which had been adopted to render the same worthy her notice. Immediately after the Entertainment, we returned our acknow- ledo-ements to the Board of Ordnance for their loan of the armour and military trophies with which the Hall was adorned, and to Mr. Stacey, for his personal services, and the taste displayed by him therein ; to Messrs. Copeland and Garrett, for their very handsome loan of various splendid lustres and chandeliers; to the Companies of Mer- cers, Drapers, Fishmongers, Goldsmiths, Merchant-Tailors, Salters, Ironmongers, Vintners, Innholders, and Coach and Coach-harness Makers, for the loan of their highly valuable ancient and ornamental plate, and to Richard Brook, Esq., for his arrangement and display of the same. We also directed the various officers in their respective departments to procure all the bills and accounts for the Entertain- ment, that they might be duly examined and immediately paid ; and, having had the same laid before us, we examined and approved thereof, and drew warrants on the Chamber for payment of the same, amount- ing to the sum of 7,849/. XJs. WiJ., and we have caused an abstract of the said bills and accounts to be hereunto annexed for the further information of this Honourable Court. Whilst we avail ourselves of this opportunity of congratulating the Court upon the successful termination of our labours, we feel it due to the various officers and others acting vnider our directions, to ex- press our acknowledgements to them for their zeal and exertions upon the occasion, and for the readiness they evinced in carrying our wishes into effect ; but Mr. Town Clerk conceiving that, consis- tently with the regulation made by this Honourable Court in respect of his office, he could not receive any remuneration or gratuity for his services, we were nevertheless unanimously of opinion that upon this extiaordinary occasion he should receive, with other officers who ( 35 ) may be similarly situated, some mark or token of our approbation, and of the sense we entertain of his services, and do therefore re- commend this Honourable Court to present the following sums : Henry Woodthorpe, Esquire, Town Clerk Edward Tyrrell, Esquire, Remembrancer /A/i.J/oz/w/ff^?/?, Esq., Clerk of this City's Works 26 5 Mr. Frederick Mountas^ue 26 5 Mr. B.

IJs. \\d. makes the outlay in respect of the Entertainment, and the various works done to the Hall, amount to 8,172/. 4s. \\d. ; but, inasmuch as in these works are comprised the general repair of the Guildhall, which had become requisite on account of its state and condition, the fittings-up, which would have been required for Lord Mayor's Day, and re-hanging the Common Council Chamber with new dra- peries, we directed the Clerk of this City's Works to make an esti- mate of such expenses incurred in those works as are not strictly chargeable to the Entertainment, and also to estimate the value of various other articles and materials, remaining the property of this City, available by them for other purposes, which he has since re- ported at the sum of 1,022/. 2*. Qd. And we recommend that the throne, chair of state, and footstools be placed at the Mansion-House, to be there safely kept as a memorial of Her Majesty's visit. ( 36 ) We also caused a sale to be made of all surplus furniture and ar- ticles which it was not thought advisable to retain for this City's use, the net produce of which, amounting to 2/9/. 18^. 9d., we have di- rected to be paid into the Chamber, and placed to the credit of this City's cash : which several sums being deducted from the sum of 8,172/. 4s. Ik/., the gross amount of expenditure, leaves the sum of Six thousand eight hundred and seventy pounds three shillings and eight pence only, as the actual cost of the Entertainment, exclusive of the expenses incurred by the Court of Aldermen for the Police, and the arrangements made by them in respect of Her Majesty's visit to this City.

A Common Council holden in the Chamber of the Guildhall of the City of London^ on Thursday, the 30th day of November, 1837. Resolved unanimously, That it be referred to the Committee who were appointed to prepare and conduct the late Entertainment to Her Majesty and the Royal Family, to make their humble ap- plication to Her Majesty, that she will be pleased to do this City the honour to sit for her Picture, and to signify her royal pleasure therein ; and that the said Committee do at the same time express to Her Majesty the deep and grateful sense this Court will ever retain of Her Majesty's gracious condescension in honouring their late Entertainment in the Guildhall with Her Royal Presence, and that of the Royal Family ; and to give such other directions in respect thereof as they may see most fit. COWAN, Mayor. A Common Comicil holden in the Chamber of the Guildhall of the City of London^ on Thursday, the 18th day oi January, 1838. THE Committee for providing- and conducting the Entertainment to Her Majesty in the Guildhall, on the 9th day of November last, did this day deliver into this Court a Report in writing-, under their hands, in relation to the Medal to be provided, and on ha^dng made their humble application to Her Majesty to sit for her Picture ; which was read in these words : To the Right Honourahle the Lord Mayor, Alder- men, and Commons of the City of London i?i Common Council assembled. WE whose names are hereunto subscribed, your Committee appointed to conduct the Entertainment to Her Majesty in the Guiklhall, on Thursday the ninth day oi November last, to wliom it was referred to provide a suitable and appropriate Medal, commemorative of an event so highly honom-able to the City of London ; and to whom it was also referred to make their humble application to Her Majesty that she would be pleased to do this City the honour to sit for her Picture, and to signify her royal pleasure thei'ein ; and that they do at the same time express to Her Majesty the deep and grateful sense this Court will ever retain of Her Ma- jesty's gracious condescension in honouring their late Entertainment in the Guildhall w4th Her Royal Presence, and that of the Royal Family ; and to give such other directions in respect thereof as we might see most fit, do certify, that, having considered the best course to be pursued with respect to providing the Medal, we were attended by Mr. TF^illiam JVyon, one of the officers of Her Majesty's Mint, who laid before us several profiles of Her Majesty, which had been submitted to Her Majesty for the new coinage, and we agreed with him to provide a Medal, having on the obverse Her Majesty's Head with a tiara, with the words victoria r e g i n a, and on the reverse a representation of the front of the Guildhall, with the royal standard, and the words " In honour of Her Majesty's Visit to the " Corporation oi London, 9th November, 1837." II ( 50 ) That, having- leferred to the proceedings which took place in the year I76I, after the visit of Their Majesties King George III. and His Roval Consort Queen Charlotte, when the like application was directed to be made to them to sit for their pictmes, it appeared that a Deputation of the Committee, with the Lord Mayor, was appointed to wait upon Their Majesties for that purpose. We thereupon re- quested the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor, together with Edward Fletcher, Esq. the Chairman of your Committee, attended by the Remembrancer, to wait upon Her Majesty on the present occasion, and we directed Mr. Remembrancer to make the proper application for an appointment, and Mr. Remembi^ancer having reported that he had made such application, and that Her Majesty had been graciously pleased to appoint this day for the same, the Deputation went up, when the Lord Mayor addressed Her Majesty in the following words : " May it please Your Majesty, " We are ordered, in the name of the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons '• of the City of Londoji in Common Council assembled, to make their humble " application to Your Majesty, that Your Majesty will be pleased to do the City " of London the honour to sit for Your Majesty's Picture." To which Her Majesty was pleased to make the following most gracious Reply ; " I shall be happy to present my Portrait to the City oi London J' The Lord Mayor, in the name of the Corporation, then returned thanks to Her Majesty for her gracious intimation, and further addressed Her Majesty to the following effect : " May it please Your Majesty, " We are ordered by the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons of the City of " London in Common Council assembled, to express to Your Majesty the deep " and grateful sense they w411 ever entertain of Your Majesty's gracious condescen- " sion in honouring their late Entertainment in the Guildhall with Your Majesty's " Royal Presence and that of the Royal Family." On which Her Majesty was pleased to bow in a most gracious manner to the Deputation. ( 51 ) And we are of opinion, and recommend, that this Honourable Court should direct that the Portrait of Her Majesty be placed in the Guildhall as a memorialof Her Majesty's condescension in honouring this City with Her Royal Presence at Dinner, on Lord Mayor's Day last. All which we submit to the judgement of this Honourable Court. Dated this 20th day of December, 1837. Edw''. Fletcher. Claud*. S. Hunter. THO^ Marsden. Tho®. Mitchell. Mich''. Gibbs.
